YOUNG women often keep a diary in which they pour out all their hopes and fears, but law student Jenny Roberts has taken it one step further by publishing a book of poetry which reveals her innermost thoughts and feelings.

A sort of poetic Bridget Jones’s Diary, called Lilies That Fester Smell Far Worse Than Weeds. it’s proved something of a shock to her close family and friends.

“I think my parents were a bit surprised because when they read it they discovered things I hadn’t told them, but I don’t think they were too shocked,” said Jenny.

Jenny, 24, from Maesdu Avenue, Llandudno, started writing poetry as a 13 year old pupil at Eirias High School in Colwyn Bay.

“It was a way of expressing my teenage angst, I wrote about boys I liked and all the sort of things that girls worry about, as well as the good times I had, ” she said.

She continued writing when she went to Lancaster University, and during a gap year, when she travelled in the Far East, Australia, and the USA.

She is still writing now she’s a law student in Chester.

“It’s something I think I’ll always do, it’s almost a form of self therapy because it allows me to release feelings I might not otherwise express,” she said.

The book is published by AuthorHouse and is available from the company’s website www.authorhouse.co.uk or from Amazon.com
